Show HN: I made the finding of services easy with AI
Hello!
As a young adult, I came across an issue where services are often very hard to find. For example, if I had a hole in my wall, I wouldn't know who to call to fix it and I wouldn't know what is an appropriate cost for this service. I believe there is a lack of transparency in this field and I wanted to do something about it. So far, the only real solution that existed was word-of-mouth, where you ask your peers what services they would call and rely on them.
So I decided to make 'ervicee' (https://ervicee.com https://ervicee.com). In ervicee you can use AI to figure out what service providers you should reach out to. Currently my database has over 10k services in 22 locations and when recommending you a service it uses the already existing reviews to provide you with the best recommendations it can.
On top of that, to address the issue of lack of transparency in cost, the platform also gives you a cost estimate range for that service in the location you are in.
After getting a list of service providers, you can then do Outreach directly on the platform and send a message to all of them at once to get multiple quotes without much hassle.
There is also a system where you can leave reviews that will then be used to help other users when they are looking for services.
So this is my solution so far. It is an MVP and not much is perfect but I really wanted to hear your feedback on the product. There are only 22 locations on the platform from the United States and Portugal (my country) and as of right now the pricing structure is a subscription based service. There is a free tier and a premium tier. After talking to people about it, I don't think this is the best business model because people don't need services on a monthly basis but I also wanted your feedback on that issue. My idea for the future would be having the businesses register on the platform and users would pay for the service on the platform and I would take a commission to afford the AI technology. So for the user, ervicee would be 100% free to use.
Hoping for your feedback and support and thank you for reading!
PS: If you would like to hear more about the technical side of the product, I will gladly explain below in the comments.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI like that you committed to the bit by having AI generate the image on the website, too - it includes missing fingers, a magic floating piece of paper, and a tool that looks like it belongs with the rest of the cow tools.
- pedrofonsecaa 3y agoWell, I was hoping that image would fly under the radar
- pavel_lishin 3y agoAI art is almost always incredibly ... obvious.
